These cars will be on top of the 28 cars already slated to come by 2019.

“[We would] accelerate the purchase of 28 additional SkyTrain cars for Expo and Millenium Lines that were scheduled for later in the plan,” said Cross. “We would be accelerating those into 2018 or 2019.”

In exchange, some projects, including upgrades to Burrard Station, will be moved out of phase one. Cross said there was a risk that those upgrades might not be done by the end of phase one in 2019.
